Auxilary Motor Question

[BruceW]

I have a 18ft Carolina skiff and want to put an auxilary motor on for "just in case".. My transom is 20'' ,so do I get a long or short shaft Aux. motor.? I have the bracket with the springs to lower it up and down. Thought I would ask before buying something and making a mistake.
Thanks, Bruce

Re: Auxilary Motor Question

If you're putting it on a jack plate then it doesn't really matter. Your transom is set up for a long shaft motor, so if you ever intend to put it on the transom itself, you'll need a long shaft.
